At 1 pm, the wind was gusting to 45 mph from the east at Gaylord, with the wind pushing out of the back of a storm. Near Gaylord a tree fell on a car and a couple people were briefly trapped inside the car. There have been many hail reports from the Traverse City area to the east and northeast. 1″ diameter hail fell at Grayling and Mio. Gaylord had over an inch of rain in 75 minutes. Here’s a list of severe weather reports from West Michigan, Northern Lower Michigan, E. Michigan, and N. Indiana (inc. Michigan counties that border Indiana). Check out the links in the 2 threads below this one.

Wow, the “irrigation shredder” worked today in St. Joseph County as storms went to the north and the south, not a drop here–unless you were under a center-pivot! Suns out, cool temps have arrived, very comfortable compared to a few hours ago.

The tornado sirens went off twice this afternoon in Holly Township, both times with NOTHING in the immediate vicinity (or anything heading in our direction less than an hour away according to radar). What’s up with that? I thought the sirens had been fixed a few years ago after they went off just a second or two before the tornado took the power out, a tornado that had first touched the ground several miles west of the township boundary (and whose storm had first shown a tornado signature on radar when it was by Charlotte).

All I got here was a few raindrops and that was it!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid Grand Rapids bubble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a clap of Thunder to be heard or any lightning to be seen…Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ended up with just over a 1/2 inch of rain here. Most all fell in 10 mins. No wind. Just pea size hail,thunder and lightning. Its funny the garage floor dried up from the rain,but 2 hrs later i still had water in the spots where the hail bounced into he garage and melted. Now the killer skeeters are out for me. Maybe winter is not that bad after all.
